Why Become a Comet?

Because Here, Your Success is Personal

At CCC, being a Comet means being known. Classes are small by design, so your instructors can get to know your goals, your circumstances, and what you need to move forward. Admissions Advisors do more than hand you a checklist. They sit down with you, answer your questions, and help you figure out what comes next.

Not only that, but CCC is one of the most affordable colleges in Arizona. In fact, ninety-five percent of our graduates leave without needing a federal student loan.

Ready to Launch?

Whether you know exactly where you are headed or are still figuring it out, CCC is ready to help you get there. Apply today and take your first step as a Comet.

Admissions FAQS

Do I need good grades or test scores to apply?
No. CCC has an open enrollment policy, which means everyone is welcome regardless of GPA or test scores. Some courses have specific placement or prerequisite requirements, and an advisor can help you navigate those.
Is there really no application fee?
Correct. Applying to be a Comet is completely free.
What if I am not sure what I want to study?
That is completely fine and very common. Advisors at CCC can help you explore your interests, identify programs that fit your goals, and map out a plan. You do not need to have everything figured out before you apply.
Can I apply if I did not finish high school?
Yes. CCC welcomes students with a GED, high school equivalency, or who are 18 years or older and ready to begin college-level coursework. Contact Admissions for more information about your specific situation.
When should I apply?
As early as possible. CCC accepts applications year-round, but applying early gives you more time to meet with an advisor, explore financial aid, and register for the classes you want before they fill up. Semesters begin in August, January, and June.
